The Manna Hill Mining Company was granted two mining leases for the industrial mineral albite worth approx $500 million, after successful negotiations with three Aboriginal native title claimant groups over a 44 hectare parcel of land 30 kilometres north of Mannahill, in mid north South Australia. The Kuyani people and two parties from the Adnyamathanha people secured an agreement that includes training and employment of Indigenous people and royalties on extracted ore. The agreement was negotiated within the native title processes established under South Australian legislation. |
